@calicmb25 As this is a hindu pilgrimage center.Indian Government wont spent money for cleaning it.Because they say it wont be secular.Even though 80% of people in india is hindus.Money can be given only to minorities.If any body react to it or race raise voice against it,they become extremist, non-secular very dangerous people.Even media wont come to support.Hindu temple money is under control of government(so curroption rules) . Minority religious institution wont come under govt. control

.its a shame to see how people just bath themselves in the most polluted river in the world..all due to their very strong religious beliefs. it must be such a strong belief that they dont see the damage they are causing to their own society.-0i respect all types of religious but ..hinduism is BY FAR!!. the one religion in the world i personally have a hard time understanding.. this is one of those things.its actually contracting..b/c they worry about cleaniness but yet they do the exact opposite
